During a woman's menstrual cycle, hormones such as progesterone and estrogen increase, which can be associated with plaque buildup. Some women experience gingivitis, which is temporary. This form of gingivitis causes swelling and redness of the gums, which can cause pain. ### Menstruation and tooth extraction If you need tooth extraction, it is better to wait until the end of your period. During your period, the hormonal rollercoaster can make your gums sensitive. No matter what procedure you have planned, do it after the bleeding has stopped. Another problem that can occur when a tooth is extracted at the wrong time in the menstrual cycle is alveolar osteotitis or "dry cavity" where tooth extraction is associated with poor healing. A large study recently published in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, titled "The Effect of the Menstrual Cycle on the Frequency of Alveolar Steatitis," found that the condition is much more common among women in their midlife, especially when they consume sugary foods. If you're using birth control and need to have a tooth extracted, make an appointment for the last day of your menstrual cycle when your estrogen levels are at their lowest. ### menstruation and tooth restoration As mentioned earlier, during menstruation, a woman's estrogen levels increase just before and during her period. Estrogen can cause inflammation and swelling in the gums, which can make it difficult for the dentist to accurately measure the hardness of the gums and the width of the spaces around the teeth. When your gums are puffy, swollen, and sensitive, cleaning them can also be painful. It is very important to take care of your daily oral hygiene. You may dig your toothbrush into your gums and cause painful bleeding. If you neglect to floss, you can cut your gums. Pay attention to what you are doing. A little care will not be difficult.

Tooth extraction is a basic technique, but it requires the health of the patient to meet certain conditions and if the patient is pregnant or sick or menstruating. Before deciding on tooth extraction, it is important to consider his condition. ### Should we do tooth extraction during menstruation? The answer to this situation is negative. Because on the days when menstruation is going on, the body changes and the sensitivity to any external effects increases. You can easily recognize: the body is very tired, the tooth is swollen, the mucous membranes or gums are easily swollen and prone to infection. On the other hand, at this time, your body also produces active substances that reduce blood clotting, which quickly removes the endometrium from the body. You lose a certain amount of blood and your mentality is also more stimulating than on normal days. Therefore, if you do tooth extraction during menstruation, due to the resonance effect of the menstrual cycle and the pain of tooth extraction, it can increase the feeling of discomfort and more pain. There are many situations of tooth extraction during menstruation where the bleeding is heavier and it is more difficult to stop the bleeding and there is a risk of other complications. ### If tooth extraction should not be done during menstruation, when is tooth extraction safe and effective? When you should not brush your teeth: pregnancy, menstruation, being sick. Time for safe tooth extraction: Except for the above, it is perfectly healthy to have a body. Tooth extraction should be done in the morning or at noon, because the body has a lot of energy. Also, if there is a problem after drawing, it is still time to see a doctor. Avoid going to the emergency room in the middle of the night. Therefore, it is important that when you meet or schedule a dental extraction, you should share your true health status so that the doctor can choose the best treatment for you. **These tips will help you brush your teeth safely:** Before tooth extraction: avoid alcohol, smoking, you should sleep early or rest enough to have the best process, you should keep calm and comfortable while tooth extraction. After tooth extraction: To prevent bleeding, follow the doctor's instructions about biting cotton or sterile gauze, change the cotton after the effect is over. Avoid eating very hot food, do not eat hard food. Do not rinse your mouth with salt water because it will cause bleeding again, take the dose of pain reliever prescribed by your doctor. Maybe after the tooth extraction, the first 1-2 days the outside of the cheeks will be sore or swollen, you can use a cold pack or cold compress to relieve the pain.
